Spicy 'n Sassy Salsa Giveaway!!

In honor of their new specialty salsa line, Pace Salsa is giving away a sweet prize pack to one of my lucky and awesome readers! A few of their delicious new flavors include Pineapple Mango Chipotle, Black Bean and Roasted Corn, and Tequila Lime. Yum!

I personally love using salsa as an ingredient in a whole host of delicious foods. My current favorite is to add a few dollops of pineapple salsa to vegetable chili. I know this sounds strange, but it adds a good dimension of flavor and a little bit of sweetness to cut the spicy kick. We err on the side of spicy wusses in our household, though I'm slowly but surely coming around.

If you want to try these great new flavors,just leave me a comment letting me know your favorite thing to make using salsa. It can be anything really, and if it sounds good I'll probably harass you for the recipe! :) Any background, funny stories about the recipe, or general humor will make you even more entertaining.

I'll pick a winner using every blogger's favorite, the random number generator. The giveaway starts today and ends on Thursday, 06/11/09 at 11:59pm pacific.

Yum! Salsa is one of those things that I CRAVE when I haven't had it for a while, which is probably why I make Nacho French Bread Pizza every Monday night. I've got to get my fix! Strangely, even though I've been making it every week for months now, I'm still not tired of it. But I think the assortment of salsa flavors could (literally) add some kick to our ol' favorite. Here's the link to my post about it from over a year ago: http://kitchenoops.blogspot.com/2008/02/nacho-french-bread-pizza.html

Mmmmm. I actually make a really simple and lowfat chicken chili with salsa. Just shredded chicken breast, great northern beans, a really good salsa and chicken broth. Then finish off with sour cream and cheese if you wish. I know - it sounds a little weird, but for a quick and yummy chili fix, it does the trick!

This is my favorite line of jarred salsa!! I'm addicted to the stuff! I've been making a one pot chicken dish with the Pace pico de gallo...dredge chicken thighs in seasoned flour then sautee in a little oil...pour a jar of the salsa and let simmer and serve with rice and beans! It's delicious!!

I love salsa!!!One of my favorite ways to use it, is to make a taco dip: cream cheese on the bottom, ground beef+onions+green peppers+salsa, topped with mozarella cheese! Serve with taco chips... delish!

I make a mean Mexican Lasagna where I used spinach tortillas instead of the traditional lasagna pasta. I also use taco-seasoned ground beef or chicken, salsa, corn, and black beans as the filling. DELISH!

Salsa is my most favorite thing. In college I would go through one of those huge family size salsa containers in a week. I've gotten my cravings under control finally, but still eat lots of it. Narrowing down my favorite thing to make w. salsa is very difficult. I'd maybe say mixing it with avacados, garlic, lime juice, hot sauce, and onions to make a delicious guac.

Salsa is kind of its own condiment in our house, and goes on just about anything. The mister gets a bit picky about his jarred salsa, so I'm looking forward to showing him some new (and mouth-watering) options!

Favorite thing with salsa? Hmm. That's a tough one, but I really mostly love just dipping tortilla chips straight into salsa. Some yummy loaded nachos are good, but I kind of just like them straight up! ;)

Mmmm...I love salsa on just about everything, but if I had to choose a favorite application, I would go with tacos! We usually make homemade salsa, but I particularly like jarred salsa for my turkey taco meatloaf!

I love it on chicken tostadas. I was surprised when the recipe called for adding the salsa to cooked shredded chicken and the baking it. Salsa takes on an entirely new and awesome taste once it's cooked like that!

i am a total salsa addict. lately my favorite has been a breakfast scramble with eggs, feta cheese, and whatever veggies we have from the farmers market topped with avocado and (lots of) salsa. also good wrapped up in a tortilla with some black beans.

I love making my moms version of Chilaquillas for breakfast and adding salsa to it. Corn tortillas fried up with an egg, tomato sauce, salsa and cheese then topped with sour cream. Yummy! Thanks!Monicamoni-777@hotmail.com
